West Ham boss Alan Pardew conceded his side had been outplayed after their 4-1 hammering by Millwall at the New Den.The Hammers' midweek destruction
of Crewe had given Pardew's men renewed confidence but they were no match for the rampant Lions and finished the game with 10 men.We got well beat and
it's very disappointing,one minute we look great the next rubbish...Same old West Ham -sigh-

Bad results yesterday,sunderland won again.Millwall are playing Wimbledon tonight so if Millwall win they go above us aswell and we drop out of the
play offs..Millwall and Sunderland will still have games in hand on us aswell..I really think we are going to miss out on the playoffs,we would have
to win at least 5 more games.

Oh nearly forgot aswell Promotion chasing Torquay United are poised to sign West Ham United midfielder Daryl McMahon on a month's loan.McMahon, 21,
played for United's reserves in a 2-0 friendly win over Tiverton Town at Plainmoor, where Kevin Wills and Grenada international winger Tony Bedeau
scored second half goals for the Gulls.

West Ham boss Alan Pardew moved to defend boo boys target Christian Dailly after watching his side bounce back from last week's humiliation at
Millwall.Dailly's name was greeted with boos before the game and every time he touched the ball after his own goal at the New Den but he found support
from Pardew after the 2-1 win.

The Hammers got off to a dream start when after three minutes Marlon Harewood's near post flick on picked out the unmarked Bobby Zamora who fired
home.The home side continued to pile on the pressure and only a fingertip save from former Hammer Steve Banks denied Zamora after Etherington and
Nigel Reo-Coker worked an opening.

Gillingham levelled against the run of play in the 32nd minute. Mamady Sidibe nodded on a free kick to Danny Spiller unmarked 10 yards out who
volleyed home.West Ham were again in the ascendancy after the break with only poor finishing and fine goalkeeping from Banks denying them the goal
their possession deserved.

After 57 minutes Banks palmed away an Etherington effort before two minutes later turning a 25-yard Zamora shot around the post after the striker made
room for himself.The Hammers finally found the winner 15 minutes from time when the visitors defence opened up before Etherington who slipped a shot
beyond Banks after a brilliant solo run.

West Ham manager Alan Pardew suffered a humiliating afternoon as he returned to the club he walked out of earlier in the season.Reading were
comfortable 2-0 winners and Pardew had to suffer the taunts of Royals fans both before and during a game which was won by a Dave Kitson brace.If we
are going to make the playoff's we need to do much better,things are real close again at the top and it's going to go right down to the wire..

I read that West Ham boss Alan Pardew looked a worried figure as his side were booed off the pitch after being held to a demoralising goalless draw by
struggling Derby at Upton Park.Due to only getting 2 points in the last six games everybody has closed the gap and it's going to be a struggle to make
the play offs now.

I think we are going to struggle to make it aswell,even if we do i don't think we will win the playoffs,maybe another season down in the first might
do us good and Pardew can then sort out the defence..
